Model Boats
Just like most other R/C hobbies, such as trains, cars or planes, remote control boats transcend a simple love of boats but instead embody the childhood dreams of those who make and use these miniatures. A popular way to enjoy remote control boats is by racing the models. Model boat racing is an intense activity, which requires skill, quick reflexes and a near-obsession with speed.
R/C boat racing is, perhaps, surprisingly organized; complete with a (partially) international federation, which has set rules and organizes events. NAMBA, or the North American Model Boat Association, is the largest association of its kind. NAMBA has 20 districts within the United States and Canada , which organize local events for model boat racers.
A second major organization for the sport is the International Model Power Boat Association, or IMPBA, which was organized before NAMBA was formed. The International Model Power Boat Association rules were actually copied by NAMBA when that organization was formed. Interestingly, the International Model Power Boat Association and the North American Model Boat Association primarily serve the same area – the United States and Canada .
When you compete in an event, either in the IMPBA or in NAMBA, you compete against other boats in your class, providing for a fair race. The classes are determined by the overall design of the boat as well as propellant as both have a considerable effect on the ships speed.
Events organized by these two organizations follow oval tracks with buoys marking turns. For sprint boats, short, straight, tracks are used.
If you prefer the slower pace of sailboat, racing there is also an association which organizes events specifically for wind-powered boats. Radio controlled sailboat events are governed by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), the same organization that governs full-scale sailing races. The rules for R/C boats are identical in every way to their full-scale counter parts (the only difference is a special section specifically for R/C events).
The ISAF recognizes four classes of sailing ships which can be used in events, the smallest being the ‘International One Meter.’ Just as its name suggests, boats are restricted to being 1,000mm long. To keep costs down, hulls must be comprised of wood or fiberglass. This allows for very competitive homebuilding of boats.
The second class is the International Marblehead. Slightly larger than an International 1 Meter , this class’s maximum length is 1,290mm with a maximum draught of 700mm. The two larger classes are the International 10 Rater and the International A class, which is the largest class of r/c sailboats.
Finally, for those who enjoy building fast, agile, ships and have a (perhaps unnatural) love affair with destruction, there is a competition designed for you. Though combat-style involves no racing, it requires the same level of concentration found in racing events. These model boats are specifically designed for easy repair after they have been sunk by competitors. Their hulls are balsa wood so projectiles may easily penetrate the boats while projectile speeds are kept at a safe level.
